Online: Nozzle Theory

The present thesis presents a comprehensive, up-to-date review of supersonic flow separation and side-loads
in internal nozzle flows with ensuing side-loads. In addition to results available in the literature, it also
contains previously unpublished material based on this author’s work, whose main contributions are

discovery the role of transition between different separation patterns for side-load generation

experimental verification of side-loads due to aeroelastic effects and
